A picture similar to this one attracted to me to an op-ed by Jon Margolis, who used to write about politics regularly for the Chicago Tribune. Jon's moved on and out-- he lives in Vermont. An author, he wrote this book, The Last Innocent Year: America in 1964 : The Beginning of the "Sixties"
Yes, another book about "the Sixties."If it wasn't for a picture of Republican rocker Ted Nugent, would've skipped the article, Tribal America defends right to ignore facts.

It's a typical, "Man, most Americans (but not me) are dumb" piece. And among the dummies is Ted Nugent.
Here is a key excerpt:
What seems to excite Nugent as much as hunting--maybe more--is antagonism to anti-hunting, not just the individuals and the organizations, but the mind-set.
Nothing else accounts for the anger. After all, there is no visible anti-hunting movement. Still, some hunters become infuriated about the mere existence of anti-hunting sentiment, impotent though it may be.
Look who's dumb, Jon: Here are some anti-hunting web sites. And no, they're not impotent.
International Fund for Animal Welfare
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals
Bloody Business
Ban Hunting
For the record, I don't hunt and I don't own a gun.
